nce for lesbians than
gay men, and that gay men are significantly more likely to be
targets of violence.That research also has found that it's often straight
men who have the most difficult time with homosexuality and
particularly gay men says researcher Gregory Herek."Men are raised
to think they have to prove their masculinity, and one big part
about being masculine is being heterosexual. So we see that harassment,
jokes, negative statements and violence are often ways that even younger
men try to prove their heterosexuality," says Herek, a psychologist at the
University of California, Davis, who has, for years, studied this phenomenon
and how it plays out in the gay community.That is not, of
course, to downplay the harassment lesbians face. It can be just as
ugly.But it's not as frequent, Herek and others have found, especially in
adulthood. It's also not uncommon for lesbians to encounter straight men
who have a fascination with them."The men hit on me. The women
hit on me. But I never feel like I'm in any immediate
danger," says Sarah Toce, the 29-year-old editor of The Seattle Lesbian,
a daily online news magazine. "If I were a gay man, I
might and if it's like this in Seattle, can
you imagine what it is like in less-accepting parts of middle America?"One
of Herek's studies found that, overall, 38 percent of gay men said
that, in adulthood, they'd been victims of vandalism, theft or violence

Chaffetz said Thursday that the Department of Homeland Security is using
roughly 1,000 rounds of ammunition more per person than the U.S. Army,
as he and other lawmakers sharply questioned DHS officials on their "massive"
bullet buys."It is entirely ... inexplicable why the Department of Homeland
Security needs so much ammunition," Chaffetz, R-Utah, said at a hearing.The
hearing itself was unusual, as questions about the department's ammunition
purchases until recently had bubbled largely under the radar -- on blogs
and in the occasional news article. But as the Department of Homeland
Security found itself publicly defending the purchases, lawmakers gradually
showed more interest in the issue.Democratic Rep. John Tierney, D-Mass.,
at the opening of the hearing, ridiculed the concerns as "conspiracy theories"
which have "no place" in the committee room.But Republicans said the purchases
raise "serious" questions about waste and accountability.Chaffetz, who chairs
one of the House oversight subcommittees holding the hearing Thursday, revealed
that the department currently has more than 260 million rounds in stock.
He said the department bought more than 103 million rounds in 2012
and used 116 million that same year -- among roughly 70,000 agents.Comparing
that with the small-arms purchases procured by the U.S. Army, he said
the DHS is churning through between 1,300
